Fireworks over Saugatuck Harbor

Ted Swoboda of Swoboda Images did it again. He climbed to the top of Mt. Baldy over looking the beautiful town of Saugatuck, Michigan.

Perched high above the harbor, Ted snapped some wonderful images of this years fireworks.

Saugatuck has three fireworks displays throughout the year and Ted is over gracious enough to send these photos to his friends. (Glad I'm one of them.)

My bride and I enjoyed the fireworks from ground level at the harbors edge, it was an awesome display once again.

Take the time to visit Ted's web site for local photos, he does a fantastic job. Thanks again Ted.

Hi Duane- I saw your headline and thought I'd have to check out who the local blogger was - there are so few from my town.

I boat, out of Saugatuck Harbor Yacht Club. Only, my Saugatuck Harbor is in Westport, CT. Our fireworks were launched off of Compo Beach, easily seen from Saugatuck Harbor.

Duane

That looks like it was a lot of fun. My daughter to Grand Haven yesterday with friends to watch the fireworks and hit the beach. I'm sure she is going to get to Saugatuck before I do. Looks like a great place

Excellent pics Duane! I grew up in Ludington, MI and fondly remember pics like yours. Now I live outside Disney where they have 4 shows per night.

I did not see any fireworks this weekend Duane so thank you but I did visit Disney this spring and got to see them then several times.

Nice pics! We all had a wonderful time down in Florida too. Orlando canceled fireworks because it wasn't in the budget.

Great photos! This year we did our own fireworks and the kids loved it!

Your Friend in Charlottesville!

Marilyn, wow, didn't know there was another Saugatuck Harbor, to cool. Hope you enjoyed the fireworks there, we did here.

Jeff, now you have a goal, beat her to Saugatuck. Grin. Hope your holiday is going well.

Duane, fireworks over water are especially beautiful with the reflections below. Ted did a great job with the photos. Fireworks are not easy to take pictures of. Thanks for sharing.

Duane,

Excellent pics! I spent my summer vacations on Drummond Island and various locations in Michigan. I missed going again this year.

Thanks for posting the fireworks!

Ann

Rebecca, my daughter lived in Orlando for 5 years and enjoyed the Disney fireworks as well. Thanks for stopping by. Do you get back to Ludington at all?

Paddy, glad I could provide your fireworks for this holiday, grin. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Duane,

Thanks for sharing the photo's. Looks like a great display and to think you were there in peson and have pictures to bring back the memories.

Randall, that's to bad with the fireworks being cancelled, hopefully next year the business community can put a drive together to fund it.

excellent pictures, he did well. we got a few of the display off navy pier in chicago but I didn't bring the stuff to download them. I will be doing a bunch of post-celebration type blogging when we get back from this trip. have a safe weekend. cheryl

Wow, excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing them. West Michigan has some wonderful fireworks displays.

Charles, that's always fun as well plus brings the fam together.

Thanks for stopping by my friend,

Gary, thank you for commenting on Ted's work, he does an excellent job. He sells some of the prints online and in local galleries, but is always good enough to share them with me as well, which I appreciate seeing his work.

Ann, there's still time, the Venetian Festival is at the end of the month with more fireworks, come visit us.

Hal, that's the cool part, I remember most of these when they were fired off, but to see them in still shot is awesome.

Girl Cheryl, to cool, look forward to seeing some of your trip photos.

Lola, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Ted does a great job with his photography. I agree, we do have some excellent fireworks, especially when they are over the harbor as Gary said with the reflection.

Those pictures are breath-taking. Thank you so very much for sharing. Wow. I am speechless!! (Which for me is SOOOOOOO rare)

Great pics! I have never been to Saugutuck, but looks like a great place for fireworks and fun!

Dan, it was great and the celebration continues in town. Being a resort town I think we will see it continue for the next few days. To cool.

Beautiful photos indeed Duane - thanks for sharing them - we love to sit out and look at all the fireworks over lake Michigan or the local community displays as well - this year the lil town of Whiting had over a 40 minute show!!!

Sincerely,

Grace

Even at age 50+, I still love fireworks! There is something so magical about all the colors, etc. I am always the one in the house saying let's go! Let's have people over onthe Fourth! Happy belated Fourth of July!
